Blackberry Z3 with BB 10 OS and dual core processor launching soon

Blackberry is getting ready to launch the BlackBerry Z3 in the Indian markets this month. They will be announcing the release on 25th June. The Z3 is the next gen BB 10 device and probably will come with an affordable price tag.

The Android, Windows and iOS are the most preferred operating system in the Indian markets, BlackBerry is still here and there are many users who are loyal to this brand. However in most cases it is the price that turns out to be a disappointment for BlackBerry. With the new launch and maybe with a good price tag the company might hope to grab some attention.

This single SIM handset run on BlackBerry 10.2.1 OS with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB on-board storage. It sports a 5 inch screen with 960 x 540 pixels (qHD) resolution. The Z3 also comes with a micro SD slot that in turn can add more storage space of up to 32GB. Also included is a 1.1MP secondary camera and a 5MP AF primary camera with LED flash. Rear camera can shoot 1080p videos whereas the front camera can in 720p resolution.

It is a 3G phone that also supports 2G, Wi-Fi (b/g/n) with hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC is included, micro USB 2.0 and GPS with A-GPS support. There are dual mics for noise cancellation and the built in battery is 2500 mAh (Li-ion) with talk-time of up to 15 hours.

I am using BlackBerry z10. From past 6 months. Believe me it’s a gr8 phone with gr8 built quality. It’s very easy to pass a comment that BlackBerry is flop. It’s gone, its nothing.. etc. But after using this platform you get to realise the power of BlackBerry it doesn’t leave you abandoned. Huge development are still going in BlackBerry.

When you use BlackBerry OS first time it will feel a bit different and not so cool to learn. But slowly slowly it will catch on you. You will feel addicted to it. Its very powerful n in fact most productive os after webos in Palm phones. It has hub which brings all the info together to a single accessible place.

Now coming to hardware part now z10 is available occasionally on ebay @ 12 k and now z3 with an official price tag around 11-12k is a steal. It’s os is optimised for dual core so it doesn’t lag plus it has a good amt of RAM so no need to worry. There are tonnes of accessories on ebay. There is one dedicated forum crackberry with very helpful n some best of the brains of the world.

Q. Its BlackBerry n there are no apps.
Think of an app I mean any app n it has all. It will be now officially supported by Amazon market place. This BlackBerry os support all apk android apps (the one which doesn’t explicitly doesn’t require Google services).

I agree with u all that it will not be able to catch up to ios or android but still this BlackBerry os or these phones are for classes not for masses.
After 10.3 OS later this year things will change drastically. BlackBerry is back in race.

Note… I am not a BlackBerry employee or any paid reviewer, but an hard core quality fan.
